Christmas is all about nostalgia. Everything tied to the season comes with a memory. Setting up the tree has me fondly recalling the way Mom would spend what seemed like hours “fluffing” the tree, ensuring that every single branch was perfectly placed. Baking cookies brings back all of the smells and tastes that I experienced in Grandma’s kitchen year after year. There’s no better feeling than sitting back and reliving memories of Christmases gone by. Why not give the gift of a memory this year?
Fisher Price’s Rock-a-Stack has been delighting babies since 1960! I can’t think of many people who didn’t have one of these in their toy box while they were growing up! The five colourful rings are the perfect toy for babies of all ages! The smallest ring has colourful, swirling beads inside, making it a perfect rattle for the tiniest of tots. When baby gets a little bigger, they can practice stacking the rings on the base. Elizabeth loves pushing the wobbly base once she’s placed all of the rings back on and watching it rock to and fro. The bright colours really catch baby’s attention! It is always one of the first toys that Elizabeth reaches for when she is playing.
Fisher Price’s Rock-a-Stack is a gift that you can feel great about giving because baby is learning as they play! Stacking is great for hand-eye-coordination. This toy brings back so many fond memories of my childhood! I can’t wait to bask in the glow of our tree, bite into a freshly baked ginger snap, and spend some quality time playing with my daughter. That’s really is what Christmas is all about!

we had a rock a stack growing up. years later I was looking after a cousin’s daughter and brought that out. She played for, seriously!, 2 hours, stacking, taking them off stacking.
Definitely a classic! I remember playing with these when I was a tot. I’d love to win a set for my youngest niece.
When I was younger my brother and I would play with them!
ahhhh I remember my two daughters playing with this when they were babies! unfortunately i gave it away and now my third daughter could really benefit from playing with this toy! its an essential in my opinion
when I worked at a daycare nursery the kids loved playing with these, my kids also had one and loved it
such a classic toy. I remember the kids using the rings in the bathtub as bath toys!
I like remembering my son discovering the rings for the first time. Thanks!
I had the Fisher-Price Rock-a-Stack when I was little! I love that the new one has beads in the top ring – makes it just that little bit more fun for the little ones! I am pretty sure mine was just all plain rings, if I “remember” correctly (recalling photos I’ve seen of me with mine). I think many of my photos show me chewing the rings, and wearing them as bracelets – I think I loved this toy! 🙂
The Fisher-Price Rock-a-Stack is such a classic. I remember it in every house you would go to!
The Fisher-Price Rock-a-Stack is such a classic.
I had this. My kids plays for hours with it and I passed it along to my brother for his kids.
I remember having one of these when I was little and we lost one of the rings. I liked how it would still stack and leave the space empty where the ring was missing.
I remember buying these stackables for my nephew when he was a baby 30 years ago.
My kids had this toy when they were young.
My sister and I had a Rock a Stack growing up. Our parents were new immigrants to Canada so money was tight, but this was an inexpensive toy that we treasured!
I had one growing up and my boys had one when they were smaller. Would love to gift it to a friend.
My little sister and I had one of these and so did my twins!
We also had this when I was young. So much fun for little hands!
My son had this when he was young and them my granddaughter also had this when she was little….it is a classic!
I remembering play with the ring stack all the time! I still like to race people at it!
I remember having one when I was a kid.
This is so old school! I remember my little sister having one but instead of stacking, she was mostly using them as a teething ring…
I don’t remember playing with these but I remember my two little ones playing with them. One of their favorites.
it is fun how some classics never go away, i played with them, my kids did too
I had a rock a stack, my three kids had a rock a stack… and now my little grandson needs a rock a stack!
I used to play with rock a stack when I was young it became my make shift food I used it as doughnuts mini pizzas it even doubled as Barbie life preservers
I don’t recall having this toy growing up but it seems to be a popular and timeless toy.
WE had this growing up but there was always one missing which ruined it!
We had fun competition for kids, who is the first to finish Fisher-Price Rock-a-Stack, that was amusing!
I had a Rock A Stack for my children so they have been around for a long time.
I remember always trying to find one of the rings and it being missing! Lol
My niece loved this growing up!
We had a Rock-a-Stack for all our children and they loved it. Now I have to have one for my Granddaughter.
My kiddo loved stacking over and over. I would love to give this to my nephew!
This is such a classic toy, I had this growing up, my sister had one too!
My sons spent a lot of time playing with the Rock-a-Stack when they were little boys.
My baby brother had these! Such a classic. Along with the phone. 🙂
Such a classic toy! My kids played with my old one when they were little!
I have pictures of me playing with this when I was little. My eldest loved this toy and it eventually become a bath toy (one of the reasons we no longer have it for our newest little). 🙈
The Rock-a-Stack is one toy that I think every person I knew growing up still had hanging around. It’s one of the first toys I brought home for my daughter.
This was my son and daughter’s first toy!
I would give this to my friends child
My kids & the ones I babysat all loved this- it couldn’t have been more fun
My eldest son had one when he was little. I think they were very popular. Fisher Price has such great safe educational toys.
I think a lot of parents realize that toys like this are very educational for a childs growth , plus keeps them busy
We had this toy as children. I loved playing with the rings.
This is one of the toys that my kids use to play and have lasted them for a while. Very durable and a good learning and dexterity toy.
I remember playing with mine when I was a toddler. My kids had one, too!
OMG! I remember playing with this at my cousin’s house when I was a little girl.
I have none. My boys never had this. I think maybe a cousin of mine might have. Love to win for the little ones I babysit.
I had one growing up but i definitely got one for my son when he was a baby
